Just to leap in here... you can always do
<?php echo "<". chr(63). "xml ......". chr(63). ">"; ?>
(I think it's 63 for an ASCII ?, although I may have got that wrong).
Turning short tags off helps for the "<?xml" at the start, but doesn't help
with the "?>" at the end, PHP interprets that as being the closing PHP tag
IIRC.

Heh -- that was my first and only real tip here at evolt. You can leave
that line out and it will validate just fine. I have one e-pal that says he
always uses it -- as part of a php include. I have another e-pal says it's
the evil empire's doing.
Anyway, stick with the XHTML 1.0 Trans and pull that opening xml
declaration that also, coincidentally, uses PHP's *short tag* and you
should be fine.
Either that or talk to your sysadmin/host and see if they would happen to
want to turn php short tags off or hunt around and see if there's a handler
you can add to your htaccess file on a *nix server. (I don't know how to do
that, that's just what I was told, so I pulled that opening line and
validated).
Someday we may have to change it, but considering how much I've had to
change in the last 6 mos -- heh, piece'o cake.
